STRONG FOR THE SUN
The Publishers' Auxiliary of
Chicago, ihe leading newspaper
in the world devoted to the interest #i of newspaper making,
and edited by the renowned
Harry G. Fisher, contained the
following paragraph ia its issue
of November N17: <-
"The North Canton Sun cele-""
brated its first anniversary on
Nov. 8 with a two-column box
on the editorial page that was
a fine one. It told how thc
paper has succeeded so well in
the few months it has been running that it plans to move into
a larger building, and then en-
. umerates ils many fine features.
We are for The Sun strongly
and believe its readers are indeed fortunate in having it as

Troop No. 2 met at the Scout "headquarters on Wednesday, Nov. 21, at
7:00 p.m. After a ping-pong tournament and some work building fire by
friction they had some instruction in
signalling! A story entitled "Matsee,
the Marten," was told by Scoutmaster
Geib of Troop No. 1. A short talk on
the tenth law "A Scout is Brave"
ended the program. Then the four
candidates for initiation were led forward and after some exciting moments were admitted into tbe Troop.
They had previously passed their
tenderfoot tests. The new Scouts are
Claron Greenho, Stanley Pierce, Frederick Roberts, and Donald Lantry. We
must advise you that Donald Lantry
is now a second-class Scout. He had
not been initiated when he should
have, but did not keep it quiet enough.
Pass Teste
Harry Conley—Knife arid axe,
thrift, compass.
Glaron Greenho—Compass, knife
and axe.
Raymond Swope—Tenderfoot tests
(oath, and laws, flag, knots).
Robert Pfouts—Tenderfoot tests
(oath and laws, flag, knots).
New Tenderfoot Scouts
By passing their tests last Thursday evening, Nov. 22, Raymond Swope
and Robert Pfouts have become our
new Scouts in Troop No. 2. They are
fine fellows and will receive their initiation and pins next Wednesday evening., November. 2S, 1923.
Apply For IMesntefship
Troop No. x. is growing by leaps
and bounds. Last meeting night three
boys applied for mewibeiahip in the
troop. They are JPranklin A. Styles,
Wm. "Vogelsang ami Edgewortb' C.
Sheets. These boys are now working
on their tenderfoot tests with the assistance of the older 'Scoots. AD second-class Scouts are required to recruit .and train one tenderfoot Scout

Scout.

A practice game of basketball was
staged by the girls on Wednesday
evening, November 28. Two teams
were chosen by Coach Adams from
the girls who are out for high school
basketball. They were designated as
the Reds and Whites. It was a very
fast game and everyone played well
under the circumstances. TKe girls on
the teams had never played together
before and they were playing under
new rules that were rather confusing.
It resulted in a victory of 7-5 for the
Whites.
Christmas vacation beg'ins at the
close of school, Friday afternoon, December 21. School opens on Wednesday morning, January 2, 1924.
The board of public affairs passed
a resolution making it a misdemean;r,
subject to a fine of $25, for ariyc.'ie
climbing the water tank. School students are hereby warned to stay off
the tank.
Personals
School closed on Wednesday afternoon at 3:15 for Thanksgiving vacation and opened on Monday morning
December 2. Many of the high school
teachers spent Thanksgiving at their
homes.
Mr. Adams visited at Gamber.
Miss Lee spent the vacntiton at
Jewett.
Miss Russell visited relatives at
Alliance.
Miss Finney spent Thanksgiving at
Toledo.
Miss James visited her home in
Westerville. ^
Mrs. Heine's mother spent the

[Sent in Last* Week]
Saturday night was a big night for
High School students at the Community Building. At 6 o'clock dinner was
announced and everyone assembled in
the auditorium where a delicious dinner was served by cooks from the
Freshmen and Junior classes. After
dinner had been served Mr. Adams
spoke on the work of the football
team this year and outlined some of
the work for the basketball team.
After this sixteen football men were
awarded letters and .six men were,
awarded class numerals.
Following the presentation of letters and i|umerals everyone except
the freshmen boys went into other
parts of the building.
The freshmen boys cleared away
the tables in very neat' style and then
everyone went back into the auditorium.
A stunt was then given by each
class. The title of the Seniors' was
Dr. Kilorkurum.
For the Juniors' stunt Carl Kolp
and Raymond Dieble showed how they
study French.
By a strange coincidence the Sophomore stunt was very similar to the
Senior stunt. The Freshmen acted out
several advertisements. After the
stunts games were played.

Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Webster
Strausser celebrated their twenty-fifth
wedding anniversary on Sunday, November 25, by inviting a few of their
friends to their home.
The day was one elf social pleasure
to those present, and the usual conversation relating to the events of
the quarter century just past, recalled
the happening's of the wedding being
celebrated."
As on tlie first occasion, "Lohengrin's" wedding march was played.
A color scheme of yellow and white
was followed throughout and the dining table held a center piece of
chrysanthemums and asters.
A bountiful dinner was served to
the guests.
Mr. and Mrs. Strausser received
many beautiful and valuable gifts.
The wedding ceremony of twenty-
five years ago was performed by the
Rev. M. M. Rader, who with his wife
are close friends of the family..
Those present were: Rev. and Mrs.
M. M. Rader of Lancaster, Ohio; Mary
Salome Keck of Greentown, Mr. and
Mrs. M. A. Reiter, Miss Vivian Riehl,

years ago, a beautiful church wedding that six hundred persons witnessed, among them being lodge brothers
of the bridegroom and the Greensburg Band played appropriate music
before and after the ceremony.

There is nothing certain in a contest of this kind, and until the last
minute on Christmas eve everyone

ZION REFORMED CHURCH
A fine company of worshippers met
in this-church on Thanksgiving morning and engaged in a sen-ice of
Thanksgiving and praise. The union
meeting,, with a varied "program and
Rev. Cossaboom as lerder, made a
fine departure from the_ regular set
Thanksgiving address. And the early
hour, at 8 o'clock, did not interfere
with most of the other plans for the
day.
Our Sunday sen-ices were well attended and to all appearances were
miidc 'appreciated. The Woman's
Missionary society held a prayer
meeting at the close of the morning
service.
Tho Ruth class planned for an all-
day sewing at the church on Tuesday,
it was also the time for their election of officers.
The Girls' Junior Guild will hold
their regular meeting on Wednesday
evening, Dec. 5, at thc church. All
the members of the Guild are urgjd

We are planning to holl, our special services early in January. The
time now contemplate." is Jan. (i-;"0.
It is expected that Rev. Melvin E.
Beck of Chicago, son of the pastor,
will again be the preacher for the
major part of that time, likely from
Jan. S to the ISth. He was so much
appreciated two years ago, that he
was asked for againk for this year.

The Sun didn't shine last week owing to the fact that the plant was
being moved from 216 Cole avenue to
213 North Main street, North Canton. The owners were "hopeful" that
a four-page paper would make its
appearance, but that hope died when
the electric power failed to materialize. Harry Evans and several other
men known as "live wires" pulled
long and hard and The Sun takes
this opportunity to thank them for
their efforts.
In our new building we have plenty
of room and many windows. The
printers are pleased and so are the
publishers. So ftom now on The Sun
will shine every Wednesday for the
best constituency in the United States,
which means the world.
Bear in mind that the new address

High School Herald Is a Breezy and
Well Written Paper.
Samuel Zechar, formerly superintendent of the schools of Uniontown,
now faculty adviser in the Springfield (O.) high school, is also coaching the young men and women in
Journalism. The Springfield High
School Herald is beyond doubt one of
the best school publications in the
United States. The headlines are
snappy and well-balanced; the makeup is metropolitan; thc editorials are
timely and excellently written, while
the news and jokes are handled in a
way to show that no 'prentice hand
is bossing the paper. The Sun extends congratulations to the entire
school. It well deserves all the bouquets thrown in its direction.

ZION LUTHERAN CHURCH
Tiie attendance at the morning service on last Sunday morning was very
good. This Sunday marked the beginning of another church year. May
the interest of individuals and the
congregation grow in matters of the
kingdom and church life during this
new year. We were pleased to have
many visitors joining with us in worship. Parents will do well to influence
their children to stay for the main
ten-ice. There should be few if any
who leave the church after Sunday-
school and forsake the congregational
service. The Sunday-school can never
supplant the hour of congregational
service.
The Luther League was pleasantly
entertained in the church basement
on Thanksgiving eve. Miss Hulda
Givler was in charge of thc committee
entertaining. Lunch was served after
a series of games were enjoyed.
Next Sunday evening Miss Mary
Snyder will give a report of the General Luther League meeting held in
Columbus recently. Miss Clara Mae
Gross will be in charge of this meeting of the Luther League.
Miss Mary Snyder entertained the
Loyal Daughters class on Tuesday
evening of this week at the Snyder
home, East Maple street. Mrs. Fred
Newbauer read a sketch presenting
the life of Ruth. Miss Hulda Givler
presented the second study of the interesting book "Twice Bom Men."
The election of officers resulted as
fellows: President, Mrs. Harley
Smith; vice-president, Miss Clara Mae
Gross; secretary, Miss Hulda Givler;
treasurer, Miss Mary Snyder.
The Ladies' Missionary society will
meet next Wednesday at the home of
Mrs. Effie Givler at 2 o'clock.

ATTENDED CONVENTION
Miss Mary F. -Snyder and Miss
Wilma Barnhill of Canton went to
Columbus on Thursday remaining
until Saturday, to attend the State
Luther League Convention. "Bobbie"
Dixon was also in attendance.
Said a well known resident to a
writer for The Sun: "Church going:
with a good many people around
North Canton is a sort of seasonal
affair. They are 'too tired' on hot
summer days and in winter they
either have to stay at home and keep
up the fires or the roads are too bad.
In either case theirgexcuse is a poor
one.
"Any time is a good time to go
to church, and any church is a good ■
one to go to. The attendance of parents encourages the young people,
and there's a lot of truth in the old
maxim that the way the twig is bent
the tree inclines. We all need a little touch of inspiration to keep our
lives evenly balanced. We hear
enough of sorrow and misery and
trouble in our every-day work. We
see the dark side of life too often as
it is. Then why not an hour at church
one day in the week to give us a
brighter view of life and that inspiration which comes with hearing a
good sermon and rubbing elbows with
our neighbors and friends?
"The Sunday-school furnishes an
opportunity for new people coming
into the community to become acquainted with the other in the class.
Each class holds a monthly business
meeting and sociwl and provides social life for the members. You need
friends \ and this is a good way to
make them.
Makes People Happier
"Church gmng helps us to live
happier because it aids us in living.
better, and it enables us to grow
stronger mentally as well as spiritually. We find''' ourselves growing
more concerned about human progress
and we go home and read our newspapers, books and magazines with
deeper interest. If we go a little farther and take hold and do some church •
or community work we will find ourselves richly rewarded. So let's give
our churches more encouragement by
attending more regularly, and especially during the winter months when
we are housed up pretty closely all
during the week and don't get tc see
each other or to talk to each ether
as' frequently a*- we do in more agreeable weather."

Troop No. 2 met at the Scout "headquarters on Wednesday, Nov. 21, at
7:00 p.m. After a ping-pong tournament and some work building fire by
friction they had some instruction in
signalling! A story entitled "Matsee,
the Marten," was told by Scoutmaster
Geib of Troop No. 1. A short talk on
the tenth law "A Scout is Brave"
ended the program. Then the four
candidates for initiation were led forward and after some exciting moments were admitted into tbe Troop.
They had previously passed their
tenderfoot tests. The new Scouts are
Claron Greenho, Stanley Pierce, Frederick Roberts, and Donald Lantry. We
must advise you that Donald Lantry
is now a second-class Scout. He had
not been initiated when he should
have, but did not keep it quiet enough.
Pass Teste
Harry Conley—Knife arid axe,
thrift, compass.
Glaron Greenho—Compass, knife
and axe.
Raymond Swope—Tenderfoot tests
(oath, and laws, flag, knots).

fine fellows and will receive their initiation and pins next Wednesday evening., November. 2S, 1923.

A practice game of basketball was
staged by the girls on Wednesday
evening, November 28. Two teams
were chosen by Coach Adams from
the girls who are out for high school
basketball. They were designated as
the Reds and Whites. It was a very
fast game and everyone played well
under the circumstances. TKe girls on
the teams had never played together
before and they were playing under
new rules that were rather confusing.
It resulted in a victory of 7-5 for the
Whites.
Christmas vacation beg'ins at the
close of school, Friday afternoon, December 21. School opens on Wednesday morning, January 2, 1924.
The board of public affairs passed
a resolution making it a misdemean;r,
subject to a fine of $25, for ariyc.'ie
climbing the water tank. School students are hereby warned to stay off
the tank.

[Sent in Last* Week]
Saturday night was a big night for
High School students at the Community Building. At 6 o'clock dinner was
announced and everyone assembled in
the auditorium where a delicious dinner was served by cooks from the
Freshmen and Junior classes. After
dinner had been served Mr. Adams
spoke on the work of the football
team this year and outlined some of
the work for the basketball team.
After this sixteen football men were
awarded letters and .six men were,
awarded class numerals.
Following the presentation of letters and i|umerals everyone except
the freshmen boys went into other
parts of the building.
The freshmen boys cleared away
the tables in very neat' style and then
everyone went back into the auditorium.
A stunt was then given by each
class. The title of the Seniors' was
Dr. Kilorkurum.
For the Juniors' stunt Carl Kolp
and Raymond Dieble showed how they
study French.
By a strange coincidence the Sophomore stunt was very similar to the
Senior stunt. The Freshmen acted out
several advertisements. After the
stunts games were played.
Personal Notes

ZION REFORMED CHURCH
A fine company of worshippers met
in this-church on Thanksgiving morning and engaged in a sen-ice of
Thanksgiving and praise. The union
meeting,, with a varied "program and
Rev. Cossaboom as lerder, made a
fine departure from the_ regular set
Thanksgiving address. And the early
hour, at 8 o'clock, did not interfere
with most of the other plans for the
day.
Our Sunday sen-ices were well attended and to all appearances were
miidc 'appreciated. The Woman's
Missionary society held a prayer
meeting at the close of the morning
service.
Tho Ruth class planned for an all-
day sewing at the church on Tuesday,
it was also the time for their election of officers.
The Girls' Junior Guild will hold
their regular meeting on Wednesday
evening, Dec. 5, at thc church. All
the members of the Guild are urgjd
ti come.
We are planning to holl, our special services early in January. The
time now contemplate." is Jan. (i-;"0.
It is expected that Rev. Melvin E.
Beck of Chicago, son of the pastor,
will again be the preacher for the
major part of that time, likely from
Jan. S to the ISth. He was so much
appreciated two years ago, that he
was asked for againk for this year.

The Sun didn't shine last week owing to the fact that the plant was
being moved from 216 Cole avenue to
213 North Main street, North Canton. The owners were "hopeful" that
a four-page paper would make its
appearance, but that hope died when
the electric power failed to materialize. Harry Evans and several other
men known as "live wires" pulled
long and hard and The Sun takes
this opportunity to thank them for
their efforts.
In our new building we have plenty
of room and many windows. The
printers are pleased and so are the
publishers. So ftom now on The Sun
will shine every Wednesday for the
best constituency in the United States,
which means the world.

timely and excellently written, while
the news and jokes are handled in a

ZION LUTHERAN CHURCH
Tiie attendance at the morning service on last Sunday morning was very
good. This Sunday marked the beginning of another church year. May
the interest of individuals and the
congregation grow in matters of the
kingdom and church life during this
new year. We were pleased to have
many visitors joining with us in worship. Parents will do well to influence
their children to stay for the main
ten-ice. There should be few if any
who leave the church after Sunday-
school and forsake the congregational
service. The Sunday-school can never
supplant the hour of congregational
service.
The Luther League was pleasantly
entertained in the church basement
on Thanksgiving eve. Miss Hulda
Givler was in charge of thc committee
entertaining. Lunch was served after
a series of games were enjoyed.
Next Sunday evening Miss Mary
Snyder will give a report of the General Luther League meeting held in
Columbus recently. Miss Clara Mae
Gross will be in charge of this meeting of the Luther League.
Miss Mary Snyder entertained the
Loyal Daughters class on Tuesday
evening of this week at the Snyder
home, East Maple street. Mrs. Fred
Newbauer read a sketch presenting
the life of Ruth. Miss Hulda Givler
presented the second study of the interesting book "Twice Bom Men."
The election of officers resulted as
fellows: President, Mrs. Harley
Smith; vice-president, Miss Clara Mae
Gross; secretary, Miss Hulda Givler;
treasurer, Miss Mary Snyder.
The Ladies' Missionary society will
meet next Wednesday at the home of

ATTENDED CONVENTION
Miss Mary F. -Snyder and Miss
Wilma Barnhill of Canton went to
Columbus on Thursday remaining
until Saturday, to attend the State
Luther League Convention. "Bobbie"
Dixon was also in attendance.
Said a well known resident to a
writer for The Sun: "Church going:
with a good many people around
North Canton is a sort of seasonal
affair. They are 'too tired' on hot
summer days and in winter they
either have to stay at home and keep
up the fires or the roads are too bad.
In either case theirgexcuse is a poor
one.
"Any time is a good time to go
to church, and any church is a good ■
one to go to. The attendance of parents encourages the young people,
and there's a lot of truth in the old
maxim that the way the twig is bent
the tree inclines. We all need a little touch of inspiration to keep our
lives evenly balanced. We hear
enough of sorrow and misery and
trouble in our every-day work. We
see the dark side of life too often as
it is. Then why not an hour at church
one day in the week to give us a
brighter view of life and that inspiration which comes with hearing a
good sermon and rubbing elbows with
our neighbors and friends?
"The Sunday-school furnishes an
opportunity for new people coming
into the community to become acquainted with the other in the class.
Each class holds a monthly business
meeting and sociwl and provides social life for the members. You need
friends \ and this is a good way to
make them.
Makes People Happier
"Church gmng helps us to live
happier because it aids us in living.
better, and it enables us to grow
stronger mentally as well as spiritually. We find''' ourselves growing
more concerned about human progress
and we go home and read our newspapers, books and magazines with
deeper interest. If we go a little farther and take hold and do some church •
or community work we will find ourselves richly rewarded. So let's give
our churches more encouragement by
attending more regularly, and especially during the winter months when
we are housed up pretty closely all
during the week and don't get tc see
each other or to talk to each ether
as' frequently a*- we do in more agreeable weather."
